Our Story

Thaddeus Moore was 18 years old when he decided he wanted to make something beautiful that stirred creativity in his life and in the lives of others. After some world traveling, and a ride with a rock guitarist while hitch hiking in New Zealand, he had his sights set on finding a studio apprenticeship upon his return to Eugene.

in 1996, a 19 year-old Thaddeus enrolled himself in every sound-related course at LCC. The courses were helpful and insightful, but he remained hungry for much more. Suddenly, a friend proposed an ambitious idea to start a recording studio. After searching for the perfect location, they found an old, rotting warehouse in west Eugene. It was full of mold, dry rot, and crumbling insulation due to many years of bean sprout production. To make this become a reality, they needed to find two other people who were interested in transforming it into a recording studio. As luck would have it... they did.

Handling the majority of the deconstruction, cleaning, and repairing left Thaddeus with many carpentry skills, but without his two newest partners. Scared, overextended, and under qualified, the two original partners were left alone to finish the planning and construction of an acoustically accurate and sound proofed studio space. At that time, both had to work while trying to snare a market for their new business in a small city, and two years into the project it was still incomplete. The stress proved to be too much and the original partner sold his interests to a new face, who soon moved to the midwest.

Now the sole proprietor of Sprout City Studios, Thaddeus was a 19 year-old sound engineer and business owner.
